They are suspected of using sleight-of-hand techniques and fake jewelry to steal valuables from elderly victims.
An L.A. County Superior Court judge upheld a murder charge against former school security officer Eddie Gonzalez in the September shooting death of an 18-year-old girl.Police had entered the vehicle’s license plate into their system after a “quick-change” theft Sunday in which a female suspect called a 74-year-old woman to the car, put costume jewelry on her, then took a valuable piece of jewelry and left the costume pieces behind after the 74-year-old refused the items.
It was the tenth such incident reported to the department since November. Police are investigating the couple’s connection to the previous cases. “In every case, a female suspect approached an elderly victim who was outside and often alone,” the department said in the release. “The suspects used confusion and sleight-of-hand techniques to remove the victim’s jewelry before fleeing in a waiting vehicle.”
